Prescription for Pennsylvania

In January 2007, Governor Rendell announced his comprehensive health care reform strategy – Prescription for Pennsylvania – to improve the accessibility, affordability, and quality of health care in the Commonwealth.

In the last two years, great strides have been made in achieving those goals. We have begun transforming long-term living services, improving the care for patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes and enacting the country's toughest legislation to end health care facility acquired infections.

In the years ahead, we will continue implementing the remaining initiatives found in the Prescription for Pennsylvania so that every resident of the commonwealth has access to the quality affordable health care they want, need and deserve.

Continuing our efforts to make health care more transparent we have compiled a list of resources providing cost and quality information. Check it out here

Need help now? There are many health care services and programs available to you and your family whether you have health insurance or not. Many of them are free (if you meet certain income requirements) or the amount of the charge is based upon your income. Check it out here
